Speed kills. Secrets even more.

In 1975, a young mechanic’s consuming passion for speed turns to tragedy when a violent accident changes his life forever. Decades later, his relentless investigation uncovers a defective automotive part potentially linked to the deaths of muscle‑car enthusiasts as well as major international celebrities. From Formula 1 to legendary models such as the Ford De Tomaso (1970–1974), the Gran Torino (1970–1974), Ferrari, Corvette, Trans Am, Porsche 911, Lancia from the Fiat group, and the Renault Alpine A442, no vehicle seems untouched by this dark mystery.

One must not forget the Ford Pinto scandal of the 1970s, infamous for causing numerous deaths. Drivers of these cars had almost no chance of survival… trapped inside an interior that became their rolling coffin and the companies knew it.

Inspired by a real tragedy, this documentary plunges us into a true mechanical thriller, where a tiny but dangerous component becomes the key to a long‑buried catastrophe. Throughout the film, the author also revisits the stories of well‑known figures who died in fatal crashes, and the sports cars that shaped their destinies.
